View Full Version : Spybot 1.6 Heuristics scan via file properties in Explorer picks up Smitfraud!?

Spybot hueristics determines that two files are infected with Smitfraud C
when scanned via the Spybot tab in the File Properties dialogues, within
Windows Explorer.
"C:\Boot\bootstat.dat"
"C:\Boot\BCD.bak"

These files are not picked up on as a threat during a regular scan nor with
any other protection software.

However, true or false, the fact that they were picked up on is cause for
concern.

My apologies if this is covered elsewhere in the forums.

Hi


Download and install TrendMicro HijackThis (http://www.trendsecure.com/portal/en-US/_download/HJTInstall.exe)
* Once installed open HijackThis by clicking Start > Programs > HijackThis and click the button labeled
Do a system scan only

* Click the scan button in the lower left hand corner of the interface and HijackThis will quickly scan your system.
* Once the scan is complete the scan button will now read save log. Click this button to save the log file to your PC. Once you select where you would like to save the file it will open in your systems default text editor. Typically this application is Notepad. Post the log here.
